Notes

Comments

7/31/22

Event: California State Games
Body: 6-5, 215-pounds. Broad rangy body, long and athletic.
Delivery: Starts on 1B side, rocks into high knee lift up to chest, gathers over rubber with a bit of a tuck, kicks leg into the stride, engages back knee to start forward, lead leg provides stability and leverage, full backside finish, long stride, delivery allows hand to get out to long extension.
Arm Action: Long easy arm action, loose, has control of the arm swing out of the glove, clean on backside with no restrictions, gets to an overhand release, full finish similar to Scherzer finish.
FB: T88.5, 86-88 mph velo range, 2211 max spin (2067 avg); Aggressive with FB, not much in the way of horizontal movement but attacks with the FB and can create tilt to bottom of zone.
SL: 78-81 mph, 2239 max spin (2193); Smooth action with smaller break, enough to slide off the barrel of hitters, gets out to far extension even on the breaking ball.
CH: 82-84 mph, 1571 avg spin; Outstanding finish out to far extension, bottoms in the zone with some arm side fade.

OC Preseason All-State: At 6-foot-3, 190-pounds with a long, lean and strong frame with a high waist and a thick lower half, Brown is easy to recognize on the diamond. Same is true on the football field where he excels as well. In fact, Brown narrowly missed our initial Class of 2023 rankings in part because we hadn’t seen enough into the fall. The power is undeniable and when the barrel is on time it’s a sight to see. As with most freshman there are things to work on. Unlike most freshman his father is a legend in baseball coaching in Orange County so you know the work is likely to get done. Uses his long levers in unisyn to produce loud contact with a consistent barrel plane through the zone. Keeps his hands inside the ball and has the strength to get the barrel through it. When he gets extended it’s pretty. It’s also powerful as demonstrated by the balls of the wall. At third base he showed fair footwork and glovework. Arm works from there with accuracy. On the mound is where he may have the most upside which is insane to write considering what I just wrote. While there’s still a way to go on the mound, Brown’s frame and stuff really project to that of a future power pitcher. Works downhill with a three-pitch mix that starts from compact arm path and jumps on you from a repeatable 3/4 slot. Came across body a couple times as his timing on the step varied. In general, it was a strong showing.
